LOOM.

lSPECIlIlfJl-XLIQN forming part oflLetters Patent No. 413,299, dated October 22, 1889.

Application led October 8, 1888. Serial No. 287,108. (No model.) Patented in England August 3, 1888, No. 11,246 in Belgium AOctober 15, 1888, No. 83,360, and in Switzerland February 8,1889,No.454.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAxoB FRIEDRICH HAG- GENMACHElL a citizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Zurich, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Looms, (for which I have received Letters Patent in Great Britain,No. 11,246, dated August 3,1888, in Belgium, No. 83,360, dated October 15,1888, and in Switzerland, No. 454, dated February 8, 1889,) of which the following is aspecillcation.

This invention consists of a vertical double loom, the novel features whereof will be fully described hereinafter.

In the annexed sheets of illustrative drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a double loom, illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of t-he same. Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. 4 is a side elevation otl the driving-gear and of the changing mechanism detached. Fig. 5 is a plan of thesame.

The loom is arranged as a perfectly symmetrical double leoni with a common central driving-shaft A, that carries on one side a driving-pulley A0. Each side of the double loom-that is to say, each single loom S' and SQ-has its movement independent of the other-that s to say, each side of the double loom is capable of being placed in or out of operation independently of the other side.

B' and B2 are the driving-shafts of the vertical looms with their bearings in the frameC.

For the sake of clearness, I will describe the general features of each separate vertical loom, which, however, do not separately form the subject of `the present application. It will only be necessary to describe one loom or onehalt of the double loo m-viz., that half marked with reference-letters having the index 1. The arrangement of the other loom, which has reference-letters with the index 2,is of exactly similar construction to the one I will describe.

Upon the shaft B' of the loom are mounted two crank-pin disks D', the crank-pins d' of which cause the lifting-rods E' of the lathe F' to move up and down in straight guides. The side slot X' in the lifting-rod serves to permit the lateral movem-ent of the crank-pin 'd'. The said slot is moved upward to allow for the travel of the shuttle. In the lifting-rods E are pivoted the picking-arms e', which are capable of movement within certain limits. The upper or picking end of each is arranged in the lathe in the path of the shuttle, so that when the shuttle is moved it will be stopped by the arm at the end of the lathe opposite to that from which-it started. The lower end is so situated that at certain times-that is to say, when the shuttle is to be picked or beaten-the said lower end will lie in the path ot' the picking-cam S19, one of which is situated oneach disk D'. The picking-arms and picking-cams are arranged exactly symmetrically on both sides. The picking-arm `e' on the right hand, Fig. 2, has just been tapped by and is out of engagement with its pickingcam, and therefore is not subject to the action thereof until its position is changed by the return movement of the shuttle. On the other or left-hand side the portion of the picking-arm which receives the blow lies in the path of the picking-cam in consequence of the blow received before by the shuttle G, which travels in a guideway in the lathe bene'ath the reed to guide its movement when moved to and fro by the picking-arms. The pickin g-arms e' move with the lifting-rods E',

(which lift or raise the lathe F',) and receive on the right and lett the blows of the picking-cams S', which are mounted on the similar crank-disks D', that lift or raise the lathe. From the warp-beam K' the warp 7o' passes over the roll Z', supporting the warp through the eyelets or rings z' and/1l, and then through the reed around the rollers H' to the beam L. These arrangements', together with the shuttle and the path of the shuttle, are only shown diagrammatically, since they do not form the subject of the present applic-ation and only serve to render the explanation of the invention more clear. cams and shafts or leaves may be eected in any suitable way. y

In Figs. 4 and 5 an arrangement is shown by way of example in which the shaft M', driven from the shaft B', forms the shed with the aid of cams m' and levers N'. These iigures show vseparately the driving-gear of the The movement of the treadletwo looms S and S2, which are situated in the IOO about a pin w', which is fixed in the frame C, and the shorter arm of the lever carries one `bearing of the driving-shaft A. To the longer the other end to a Xed point on the frame C v at c. Mounted upon the brake-pulley X', or keyed at one side of the same on the shaft B', is the toothed Wheel C', which engages With the toothed Wheel-A', mounted on the shaft A as soon as the lever YV' is raised. This lever is maintained in a raised position by hanging or fixing the catch V' upon its corresponding catch, as shown in the drawings. Vhen the catch V' is shifted, the lever XV' Will by its-own. Weight fall so as to tighten the brake-band X', which action is accelerated by the downward pull of the spring, Z', In place of the toothed Wheels A' C', frictiondisks or the like may be employed. Exactly the same device for throwing the loom S2 in and out of gearis provided on the other frame C of the double loom. The toothed Wheel A2,v mounted on the opposite end of shaft A, can be thrown into or out of gearwith the toothed Wheel C2 by the raising or depression of the bent lever V2. The same is shown thrown out of gear in Fig. et.

As shown in Fig. 4, the vertical loom S' Would be thrown into gear While the loom S2 would be thrown out of gear. The crossing or hoisting of the shaft A in this positionthat is, movements of the ends of the shaft? is too insigniieant to cause any appreciable disadvantage.

I claiml. The combination consisting of the shaft A, bent levers W' 72, toothed wheels A' and A2, toothed wheels C' and O2, and the shafts B' B2, substantiallyas shown and described.

2. The combination consisting of the bent levers WV' and V2, shaft A, Wheels A' A2, driving-shafts B and B2, wheels C' C2,brakepul leys X' X2, brake-band n' o2, catches V' V2, and springs Z' Z2, substantially as shown and described.

3. ThecombinatiomwithbentleversV IN2, shaft A, with Wheels A' A2, shafts B' B2, wheels C C2, brake-pulleys X X2, brake-bands t" r2, catches V' V2, and springs Z' Z2, of the shedding mechanism, disks D' D2, with crank-pins CZ (Z2, and picking-cams S' S2, lifting-rods E' E2, lathes F' F2, picking-arms e' e2, reeds f' and f2 in the lathes F' and F2, rollers H' and H2, and beams L' L2, substantially as shown and described.
